Sunflower oil is fine to use

 

at most temples in India they use vegetable oil in cooking most of the time, including on ekadashi.

 

Hardly any Vaishnava temples would cook with ghee for the devotees prashad. It is too expensive. Peanut (ground nut) is the normal oil.

I dont think, sunflower oil is used.

But yes, groundnut oil can be used, also at some temples soyabin oil is used which should be fine.

Soybean oil is toxic.

 

Sunflower oil is one of the only vegetable oils to be considered fit for consumption according to Ayurveda.

 

Of course, depending on how it is processed, sunflower oil too can be rancid by the time it gets to the store. Most are these days, they just use deodorizers to mask the rancidity.

 

Peanut oil is a far cry from healthy.

 

Ghee, Sesame, Olive, Palm, Shea Butter, Coconut, and Sunflower. Properly processed, these oils are healthful or neutral at best. And should be chosen from the order above More or less.

 

Anything else is just below neutral (as in harmful), and the above when processed incorrectly form transfatty acids and are harmful as well.

 

Just the facts.

 

Consumption of fried foods is a luxury for persons serious about maintaining a mode of goodness in order to have more strength to follow the regulative principles.

 

The constant intake of fried foods, ESPECIALLY those fried in harmful oils has been proven to be a serious detriment to health, puts ones body under the influence of TAMA GUNA (destructive oils), and you get what you get.

 

Be Well
